Ok, lets do this. Lets say, you have a nation of people like yourself, everyone of them would act the way you have just explained above. Do you think it possible for a nation to succeed when:
*They will not risk their life to help someone in need (There goes an army)
*Wont help someone who has wronged them in the past. (So much for any second chances, death penalty for each and every crime, or life in prison)

These are the points I make, people on their own without morals are selfish, greedy, mean, deceitful, and treacherous. However, morals make these people see who they are, where as normally, they look right through it as if it were the norm.

Lets look back a second, and think about each of those questions in refrence to you, and apply an analogy.

*You see a stranger, shot and bleeding on the street, do you help him?
You are now in the strangers position, and he in yours. How do you want him to react?

**An old enemy of yours needs a blood transfusion or he will die, will you give it to him?
You lie deteriorating on a bed, because your blood no longer carries enough oxygen through your system. He get the news from the doctor, he said no, you arn't worth vomiting for.

I cannot imagine what it would take for a person to wrong me in such a manner that I would not try to save his life at such a little expense of my own.

Tell me honestly how you would react to those situations, try as hard as you can to imagine them.

Also, if you will answer this question.

You are driving a car down the road, the worst storm imaginable is following close behind you, no more than 2-5 minutes. Three people are standing on the side of the road.

First, your best friend who has saved your life before.
Second, and old woman who has had a heart attack and needs to get to a hospital soon or she will die.
Third, the girl of your dreams.

You have room for only yourself and one other person, which one do you take?
